Wellington City Councillors will decide the fate of a $32 million deal to fix a major eye sore in the capital's CBD today.
The council is proposing to buy the land under the quake prone Reading Cinemas shopping complex on Courtenay Place and lease it back to the cinema company.
The building has been closed since January 2019 because of its quake risk.
City councillor Iona Pannett opposes the deal. She spoke to Corin Dann.
